THE TWENTIETH CENTURY – A HISTORY

In 1999-2000, the C.P. Ramaswami Aiyar Foundation organized a series of lectures to trace the important events of the Twentieth Century.  The articles in this book here are a compilation of these lectures.  This is a Madras-centric view which has stepped beyond the limitations of Chennai – that was Madras – and taken a trip around the world.  These are the issues we felt were most important and chose to present.
